Gloves Pattern #2365

Starting at wrist, ch 147 (24 ch sts to 1 inch). Join with sl st.

Ch 5, * skip 2 ch, dc in next ch, ch 2. Repeat from * around (49 sps). Do not join, but ch 5, turn.

* Dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * across. Ch 5, turn. Fasten off.

Starting at center of rosette, ch 10, join with sl st.

24 sc in ring. Join.

Ch 5, * skip 1 sc, dc in next sc, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd st of ch-5 first made.

In each sp make sc, half dc, dc, half dc, and sc. Join.

Make an sc around bar of dc on previous rnd, * ch 5; sc around bar of next dc of previous rnd, inserting hook at back of work. Repeat from * around. Ch 5, join to 1st sc made.

Sl st in each of next 2 ch, sc in loop, sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, * ch 5, sl st in 3rd ch from hook (ch-3 p), ch 2, p, ch 2, sc in next loop. Repeat from * once more (2 p-loops made); sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in next loop, ch 3, sc in each of next 2 loops; make 2 more p-loops, joining last loop with sl st to 1st sc made. Fasten off. This completes one motif. Make another motif, working to within 1st 2 p-loops on 5th rnd. Then join to 1st motif as follows: * Ch 2, p, ch 1, sc between 2 p's on 1st motif, ch 1, p, ch 2, sc in next loop back on 2nd motif. Repeat from * once more. Then complete 5th rnd as for 1st motif. Make 8 motifs in all, joining in this manner.

Attach thread to 1st p-loop and work along long side as follows: Sc in same loop, * ch 4, 2 sc in next loop, sc in next sc, 2 sc in next loop, ch 4, sc in next loop, ch 4, sc in next loop. Repeat from * across. Fasten off. Attach thread to 1st loop on opposite long side and work to correspond. Sew insertion with neat over-and-over stitches to first piece made.

With wrong side of work toward you, attach thread to top edge of insertion, ch 5, skip 2 sts, dc in next st, * ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in next st. Repeat from * across (49 sps). Ch 5, turn.

* Dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * until 8 sps are made; ch 2; in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc. Then make 4 more sps, ch 2; in next sp make dc, ch 1 and dc (thus increasing for thumb). ** Ch 2, dc in next sp. Repeat from ** across. Ch 5, turn.

Sp over sp to within 1st increase, ch 2, in ch-1 between 2 dc make dc, ch 1 and dc. Ch 2, sp over sp to within next increase, ch 2; in ch-1 make dc, ch 1 and dc. Repeat the 3rd row once more, having an additional sp between increases. Join to 3rd st of ch-5 first made (joining indicates center of palm). Hereafter work in rnds.

Ch 5, * dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around, making increase over each increase and having one more sp between increases. Repeat this rnd until 18 sps are increased for thumb, having 1 more sp between each increase in each rnd. On next rnd, work to within 1st increase, ch 2, dc in ch-1 sp, ch 6, dc in next ch-1 sp, ch 2 and continue around. Hereafter work in rnds (60 sps) until glove, when tried on, reaches to the base of your fingers.

Put glove on and mark fingers by putting safety pins on palm and back of hand between each finger, having 14 sps for Little Finger, 15 sps for Ring Finger, 16 sps for Middle Finger, and 15 sps for Forefinger.

Work sps around until 7 sps are made on palm side at Little Finger, ch 6, dc in 7th sp on back of hand. Continue to work in rnds, making 3 sps over ch-6 (17 sps). Then work straight until glove, when tried on, reaches 2 inch from fingertip. On next 2 rnds dec. 2 sps in each rnd—to dec., omit the ch-2 and make 1 dc in each of 2 sps, working them off as 1 dc. On next rnd make only 1 ch between each dc (instead of 2 ch). Following rnd: Dc in each sp around. Next rnd: Sc in every other dc around. Following rnd: Sc in every other sc until no sts remain.

Attach thread to top of dc on 1st rnd of Little Finger on palm side, work sps all around palm and back of hand, then make a sp in each of 3 sps of Little Finger (between fingers). Work across next 7 sps on palm side, ch 6 and make dc in 8th sp from Little Finger on back of hand and continue as for Little Finger.

Like Ring Finger.

Like Little Finger.

Attach thread to underside of thumb, ch 5 and work in rnds as for fingers, decreasing on underside of thumb if necessary.

Attach thread to dc below opening of cuff. Ch 3, * 2 dc in next sp, dc in next dc. Repeat from * until 20 dc are made, ** ch 2, dc in next dc, 20 more dc as before. Repeat from ** around, ending with ch 2. Join to 3rd st of ch-3 first made.

Sl st in next dc, ch 3, dc in each of next 18 dc, * ch 2, in ch-2 sp make dc, ch 2 and dc; ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in each of next 19 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2; join.

Sl st in next dc, ch 3, dc in each of next 16 dc, * ch 2, dc in next sp, ch 2; in next sp make dc, ch 2 and dc; ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in each of next 17 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2; join.

Sl st in next dc, ch 3, dc in each of next 14 dc, * ch 2, dc in next sp, ch 2, dc in next sp, ch 2; in next sp make dc, ch 2 and dc; 2 more sps, ch 2, skip 1 dc, dc in each of next 15 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with ch 2; join. Continue in this manner, always making 2 dc less in each dc-group and having 2 more sps between dc-groups on each rnd until 3 dc remain in each group.

Sl st in next dc, ch 5, * dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around. Join to 3rd st of ch-5 first made.

Sl st in sp, ch 5, * dc in next sp, ch 2. Repeat from * around; join.

Sc in next sp, ch 6, sc in 3rd ch from hook (p); * dc in next sp, ch 3, ch-3 p. Repeat from * around. Fasten off. Work a row of sc closely all around opening, making 2 ch-10 buttonloops on right side. Sew on buttons to correspond with buttonloops.

Work to correspond with left hand.
